About Me

Hi, I’m Laiden

I’m a third-year Computer Science student at NC State University with a focus on software engineering and machine learning. I like building things that are actually useful to me — whether that’s an iOS workout tracker, a student productivity app, or a custom hardware device that sits on my desk.

I started coding to solve problems I kept running into, and that curiosity has grown into a genuine love for the craft. I enjoy working across the stack: mobile apps, desktop software, embedded systems, and ML experiments.
